Members see themselves as inactive when they are not

After several years of running bbPress on a forum, today a member pointed out that when they’re logged in and make a post, their member status is shown as “inactive” even though they are clearly active and to everyone else, they are labeled a Member.

This was the first report of this issue, but sure enough others, including moderators, noticed it today when we checked.

We’re running bbPress 1.0.2 integration with WP 3.1. We recently switched from WP Super Cache to W3 Total Cache so have been wondering if somehow that introduced the bug.

After googling around for awhile, the only thing I found about the issue was this old post on the BuddyPress forums of all things that says this is a known bug in bbPress: http://bit.ly/i0RlpS

Is that true? Is their anything we can do to fix this so users don’t get confused that they’re suddenly “inactive”?

I got nearly the same problem a few days back. I logged off, but I was visible to other members as active. This active status remained for nearly half an hour after which it became inactive.

I log in with two accounts in different browsers and always check my status. This problem continued for about a week in the last week of February, but now it’s alright. Anyone has idea what could have went wrong?
